Objective of the Game:
The goal of Just 4 Fun is to be the first player to build a continuous path across the board. The path must consist of at least four diagonally connected fields.
Setup:
- Game Board: The board consists of 60 numbered squares from 1 to 60, arranged in a specific pattern.
- Tokens: Each player has a certain number of tokens in their color.
- Cards: There are cards numbered from 1 to 60, and each player receives 8 cards.
Game Rules:
-
Starting the Game: Each player selects their color and receives the corresponding tokens. The cards are shuffled, and each player draws 8 cards to their hand.
-
Gameplay:
- The game progresses clockwise.
-
On each turn, a player can play a card and place one of their tokens on the corresponding numbered field if it is unoccupied.
-
Blocking Fields: If a field is already occupied by another player's token, players can try to conquer it. To do this, they need to collect and play a certain number of cards with the same number. The exact number depends on the current strength of the field, which is related to the number of owner's tokens on it.
-
Upgrading Tokens: A player can place another token on a field already occupied by their own token by playing additional cards with the same number.
-
Drawing Cards: After each turn, the player draws enough cards to have 8 cards in hand.
-
Winning Condition: The player who manages to occupy four or more diagonally or right-angle connected fields with tokens of their color wins.
Strategic Tips:
- Early Conquest: Try to establish a strong position on the board early to make later takeovers more difficult.
- Card Management: Maintain a good balance between conquering new fields and securing your current positions.
- Blocking Opponents: Pay attention to interrupting your opponents' plans by strategically blocking critical fields.
Special Features:
- The possibility to conquer fields from other players creates dynamic interactions and constant changes on the board. Good planning and adaptability are crucial to win.
